The Literary Profession.

In no line of human work and endeavor is it more
difficult to distinguish the professional from the
amateur than in literature. In law for instance a
student reads certain books with attorney
an examination before a board of examiners and
of the legal profession In medicine the student
takes prescribed of study in college, grad
yates. and is privileged to style himself a doctor.
There schools for artists, for actors, for
farmers there schools for literary men. There
is not only school, there is obvious curriculum
which they pursue. The mental training which
produces the al man of letters
distinguished from amateur is purely subjective

an essay proves that the man has not mistaken his

of the humblest of those whom St. Inier calls
literary hacks" man cannot learn how to put
able to the reader without long years of travail
of delight amounting to pain in the work of some
great writer writer's, of despairing attempts at
emulation.
Even poet is made not born but he is made by
such subtle and unconscious that they seem
to date all the way back to his birth.
1t possibly account of this difficulty in differ
entiang the amateur from the professional account
of the want of external sign for deciding his own
status, that the young aspirant IS innocently

Mortal Man at Rest.

de NOR thus iii nisi bonum.' When
For me the end has come, and am dead,
And little voluble, chattering DAVIS of men
Peck at curiousy. let it then be said
BY some one brave enough to speak the truth:
Here lies a great soul killed by cruel wrong,
Down all the balmy days of his fresh youth
To his bleak, desolate noon, with sword and song.
And speech that rushed up holly from the heart,
He wrought for liberty till his wound
(He had been stabbed) concealed with painful art
Through wasting years, mastered him, and he
swooned,
And sank there where you see him lying now,
With the word Failure written his brow.
But say that he succeeded. If he missed
Worlds honors and worlds plaudits and the wage
OF the world deft lackeys still his lips kissed
Daily by those high angels who assuage
The thirstngs of the poets-for he was
Born unto singing-and burden lay
Mighty on him, and he moaned because
He could not rightly utter to this day
What God taught in the night. Sometimes nathless
Power fell upon him. and bright tongues of fame
And blessings reached him for poor souls in Stress
And benedictions from black pits of shame;
And little childrens Loves and old mems prayers;
And Great Hand that led him unawares.
So he died richi And if his eyes were blurred
With thick flrns-silencei he is in his grave,
Greatly he suffered greatly, too. he erred;
Yet broke his heart in trying to be brave.
Nor did he wait till freedom had become
The popular shibboleth of courtiers lips;
But snote for her when God himself seemed dumb,
And all his arching skies were in eclipse.
He a-weary, but he fought the fight.
And stood for simple manhood, and was joyed
To see the august broadening of the light
And earths heaving heavenward from the void.
Plant daisies at his head and at his feet.

I'm Fields of Corn.

In fields of corn the sunbeams creep,
Where cups of crimson peoples steep
And drop their drowsy dreams until
The little winds grow faint and still,
On murmurng leafy asleep.
In fields of corn.
The yellow kernels fold and keep
The mellow wealth the seasons heap,
And happy orioles pause and t-il
In fields of corn.
In fields of corn the truant sheep
Trough red-tip ped tangled tassels peep,
Where silky tufts in crinkles spill
From silvery sheaths the ripe fill
Like golden sweets my heart boards deep.
In fields of corn.

"Why you in my foreground, of course" said he.
''Oh, yes. this contrast OF white and blue
Gives just the tone that you need, said she;
And the scarlet spot of my sunshade, too
Is the touch of color it ought to be.
But the background you want for me.

To a yyaste-Rasket.

Thou grave of early hopes of budding youth,
Thou confdant of trite, tame-tongued truth,
Thou dragon that devours poetic fire,
Potent extinguisher of bright desire.
Thou foe of Fame. Oblivion's truest friend,
Beginning of our grief ambitions end.
Thou gor1nandizer, with a sense debased,
Omniverous in appetite and taste
Cavern of death, whence issue nevermore
The emissaries who thy shades explore
Desert of bleaching bones, tho dark abode
OF many CHASTITY rhyme and slaughtered ode
Thou place of doom. for those unloved by Fate,
To thee with fear this verse I dedicate.

At the Gate.

Beside mighty city s'gate,
Where passed at morn the proud and great
To seek sacred shrine that stood
Within the precincts of wood.
A crippled beggar sat- and loud
Besought the ever-passing crowd.
His need was sore, but they denied;
1--WE seek to find out God" they cried,
AS by the altar the sod,
They knelt-"We seek to find out God
The day declined. The great and proud
Who sought that morn the shrine, and bowed
Their heads though in reverence there,
Forgot the shrine. forgot the prayer.
But To- the man whom they denied
A pittance as they passed in pride,
Dead by the gateway knew what they
So vainly sought, as. day by day
They toward the holy affairs trod.
He-he alone-had found out God!

Far rather tn an to see or touch
